Azure for Gaming [1] is just a collection of Azure services that are related for games, like Notification Hubs, Media Services, etc. Presumably, there's some common SDK for games but I haven't really used it so I can't say. I suspect (although I haven't looked into it) that the backend services that Lumberyard uses are also just standard AWS services packaged up in nice way like Azure. Lumberyard is really just CryEngine with the AWS integration I mentioned above, so it's not really directly comparable. I'd say the two backend services would be a more apt comparison, but as I said above, I haven't used the two myself, so I can't give more details.
